Wouldn't it be possible to make conditional terms depending on
which jurisdiction the licensee is under? For example:

   For licensees under Dutch jurisdiction the following applies:
   "Insert standard Dutch disclaimer here"

   For licensees under Australian jurisdiction the following
   applies: "Insert standard Australian disclaimer here"

It's messy, I know, but a possibility?
